My third time trying to read this book…

Pretty good so far. My friend, Katiyanna, recommended this!

Machiavelli’s The Prince is wildly different from what I find myself usually reading. Despite that, I am enjoying it. Which, I will admit, sounds a little weird considering it’s an extensive analysis of a political treatise that details how to acquire and maintain political power.

I’m not going to lie, it’s slow as hell. Starting a new book is always the worst feeling ever. I am, however, very confident that as the story evolves that I will enjoy it!

Jude's life continues to get worse and worse. This is by far the most devastating novel I have ever read.

Another chapter down! I've been too busy to read lately. Such a shame.

Not a very big update, but I have finally finished part one of the novel! The more I read, the more intriguing the story becomes. While my hope builds alongside Jude's for his future, I can't help but feel that this is not the end of his string of sorrows.

The more I read, the more I feel sorry for Jude. It seems he was born never standing a chance. Jude Fawley was dealt a bad hand of cards, with no idea on how to play them.

I am Michelle Obama’s #1 fan.

I have unfortunately grown to dislike this novel. Such a shame considering it is entertaining. I am simply just too impatient for the pace of the storytelling.

My term paper is based on this novel. I have having such a difficult time reading it though. However, the characters and plot is interesting.

Compared to my last read, Joseph Andrews, I have thoroughly enjoyed this novel! The writing, in my opinion, has evolved immensely. I have always had a knack for Sir Walter Scott though.

Davie Do-Little is such a whimsical, free-spirited character. I too aspire to dress in fancy clothes and spend my days dancing around the village as their designated fool.

Fairly good so far. The writing is a little verbose but I am enjoying the whimsical/romantic nature of the novel.

I am so ready to finish this book.

Her writing is so personal. This book is a breath of fresh air compared to many novels being published now.

BOO👎

I can no longer read this in public. Michelle has made me cry. Why Michelle? Why?

I have grown to despise this novel. Joseph Andrews is a phony, and I wish the worst for him and his ridiculously named friends.

The only thing I have learned from this novel is potential insults to use in the future. Everyone better watch out; I'm going to start throwing "vile trollop" around like Oprah did with those cars.

You're a vile trollop! You're a vile trollop! And you're a vile trollop!

Michelle Obama is so tuff.
